"All sides are devils. Collateral was inevitable. It couldn't be helped. War is inevitable"
These are the main takeaways that are present this episode and sure enough they're about as subtle as a hammer to the face so now I'm finding it much much harder to believe the messaging in this show isn't a sign of Isayama's hawkism now. And it's important to note that because all the takeaways above are generally the same rationale used by hawks to justify pretty much anything and I have serious misgivings about that.
It was a really action packed episode for what it's worth and seeing the old crew back as a formidable unit was a hell of a scene though. It's just marred by the unfortunately obvious messaging. It won't stop me from appreciating all the other aspects of the story but it is what it is and it's no use pretending otherwise.
